An older person will wonder why youngsters (use of that word will age you faster than anything!) don't understand the value of money, as they "take a penny/leave a penny." What the seniors fail to grasp is that the kids DO understand the value of money -- 27 cents doesn't buy anything anymore and is barely worth picking up off the sidewalk.

I am realizing I must be acting like I am 156. Note (if I don't forget) -- ask my kids if I am doing anything NOT oldladyish. And, will put ALL my change in the cup at Dunkin Donuts tomorrow! Pam
